Hey everyone! now since all of the paintings I have shown you were abstract today I will be showing you how to draw still life for beginners! Yay! So exiting! Anyways lets get started.

Step 1:Start by picking an easy object to draw such as a ball,a book,a box,and so on. (Any object that doesn't have too much details or texture will do.) It's very important not to rush yourself into trying something that may be too difficult.
Step 2:Try to have one source of light (a lamp is recommended). It defines the shadows more.
Step 3:start with any place that makes you feel comfortable. Try using the pencil softly so if you mess up its easier to erase.
Step 4:When starting, try using shapes that you see in the object, such as circles or rectangles, or draw light lines that divide the object equally. But do not work on any one part of the object until you have the entire object drawn lightly.
       Step 5:Once you have the entire object drawn lightly, start darkening the outlines, but not so dark that it makes it look 2 dimensional.
Step 6: After that start adding details, shading is very important so make sure you take your time doing it.
